The UK is rearming. How will it pay for it? Defence firms tell me they’re poised but await orders. Click in article to 🎧 to our UK Defence Special podcast with superb @EllenAMilligan & @DanHanson41 With key names: @BAESystemsplc @Leonardo_UK @AirbusintheUK @CH_IntSecurity

Reform U.K. @Nigel_Farage tells me Musk is still a hero to him https://t.co/452zxEwyXo

Talking to @JonAshworth on radio @LabourTogether he says Reeves will “roll the be pitch” if there are tax changes “you’ll get a few hints” today. He pointed to “closing loopholes”, but couldn’t tell me more. With @stephencrrll @James_Woolcock
